OWASP London Chapter

OWASP London Chapter announces a Hackathon and CTF event which will be taking place on the evenings on 28th and 29th of November 2016 in Central London.
CTF (Capture The Flag) is a type of computer security competition. Contestants are presented with a set of challenges and puzzles which test their creativity, technical coding (and googling) skills, and problem-solving ability. Challenges usually cover a number of categories and when solved, each yields a “flag” which is submitted to a real-time scoring service. The difficulty levels are from beginner to advanced. CTF tournaments are a great and fun way for software developers to learn a wide array of applications security skills in a safe and legal environment. 
This event is kindly hosted and sponsored by: ThoughtWorks London
